Tradition in the Nations Capital
it's traditional for a couple of friends and my wife to go down to the tidal basin on Good Friday and sit under the cherry blossoms and with a set of
chairs , wine totes, cheese and guacamole, with our cigars and just watch the people who are gawking at the blossoms.  Last year we became celebrities as folks walking by noticed our wine,cigars, seats
and food and took pictures and said that was the way to do it. People come from all over the world to enjoy the cherry blossoms and today promises to
be high 70's and clear sky- crowds are huge and we will Metro it . On
Easter Sunday we have been going to sunrise service at the Lincoln Memorial- usually a great CW singing group singing gospel but his year we are going
to Arlington cemetery for sunrise service.
This is our last year in DC as in October we head to La Paz to begin building our house and we'll have to develop new traditions.

Will do some small chores in the back yard this morning and think about Good Friday and what it means, if the story is really true, and what life must
have been like in 33AD.

Good Friday, also known as Holy Friday, Black Friday, Great Friday, is a holiday observed primarily by Christians commemorating the crucifixion of
Jesus Christ and his death as believed by Christians at Calvary. The holiday is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum on the Friday
preceding Easter Sunday, and often coincides with the Jewish observance of Passover.
Based on Christian scripture. (The Preparation Day was the day before the Sabbath - The Sabbath is Saturday) of the Sanhedrin Trial of Jesus, the
Crucifixion of Jesus was most probably on a Friday. The estimated year of Good Friday is AD 33, by two different groups, and originally as AD 34 by
Isaac Newton via the differences between the Biblical and Julian calendars and the crescent of the moon. A third method, using a completely different
astronomical approach based on a lunar Crucifixion darkness and eclipse model (consistent with Apostle Peter's reference to a "moon of blood" in Acts
2:20) arrives at the same date, namely Friday April 3, AD 33.

I've always enjoyed Christian Good Friday Services....
all those little kids marching down the aisles waving their palm branches and singing.
And over the last many years
I've developed the habit of gathering my friends to again watch Jesus Christ Superstar:
Hosanna Heysanna Sanna Sanna Ho
Sanna Hey Sanna Ho Sanna
Hey J C, J C won't you fight for me?
Sanna Ho Sanna Hey Superstar

Good Friday
Which tonight corresponds to the fourth day of Passover. We'll join hands at the Seder and sing, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus."
Later, my girlfriend will give me another present.

Good Friday is a big deal in my church and as an altar boy I used to skip school to attend midday services. But now I just work through the day.

BajaMick's birthday today
Soooo, we've got a watermelon chillin' for when he gets back with his students from Playa Burro this afternoon. Then I'm taking him out to dinner at
his fav Mulege taco stand out on the highway (his choice), a meander out in the west valley to bird watch, perhaps a glass of wine or a beer at Ray's
Restaurant to watch the sunset. Then maybe a game of pool at Mesquite, the new hangout on Mulege Plaza. And, if BajaFam show up our plans will include
them of course!

We Spent Good Friday
Worshiping in our own way, at the House of Dog.
We went to the vet to update vaccinations and do blood panels.
In Rosarito, the the main boulevard south was closed off because there were about two hundred people lined up in the street behind a very large cross,
getting ready to march south on Mex Hwy 1 to where I am not sure, maybe Puerto Nuevo?
It was a very colorful and engaging scene - for us anyway because we were on the other side of the divider going north. The drivers that were stopped
behind the procession were not happy. They expressed their displeasure/frustration by leaning on their horns. This kind of detracted from the
solemnity of the occasion.

As a working stiff, I always thought that all fridays were good, if it was also a payday it was very good, and if you got the day off it was great.
I could never figure out how the most important day in christianity was the first sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox??? Sounds
like the christians had to counter the pagens again.
